Question

A case of 12 bottles of water was on sale at the mall for $5.33. What is the cost per bottle?

Answer 1

$0.44

Explanation:

$5.33 / 12 = $0.44

Answer 2

You can find this by using a proportion.

Explanation:

`(12)/(5.33)`
`(1)/(x)`

Put 12 over the total cost of $5.33

Now cross multiply.

5.33=12x

Divide by 12 on each side to get rid of the x.

Each bottle costs about 0.44 cents.
